This error indicates that the system requires the object to be saved before it can perform a syntax check.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: The most common cause of this error is that you have made changes to an ABAP program or object but have not saved those changes. The syntax check can only be performed on saved versions of the object.
